Ya.
Go read christopher hitchen's june and july articles in the nation. Reagan officials were actively negotiating with Iraninan parties to keep the hostages secure until after the election.
If you don't believe me, and you don't, read up on it yourself. Christopher Hitchens wrote about it pretty extensively in The Nation in 1987, I think the articles were called 'Minority Reports' or something? It's been years since I read them, and i'm not going to bother googling them for you.
